It Will End In A Kiss

A Dawning Fight

(BLU)

I hate myself for crying. I hate that I cannot control my tears. But I feel like I am back on that day, when AnneMarie and I staged a proposal event for Robin on the rooftop. While I was watching the mic that falls from my hand drop onto Robin's forehead, on the other side of the city, a ten wheeler truck has smashed onto the cafe where my parents were having coffee and the impact instantly killed them.

My head is bringing me back to that time. In the beginning and I just cannot help wondering why I didn't felt it. That impact that killed the two most important people in my life. My parents. I love them so much, why didn't I felt their deaths? Why doesn't my love for them warn me that they have perished? Why?

Is that all the extent of our love as humans? We couldn't even feel when the person we love so much has died if that happen away from us? Its pure bullshit.

And now I am learning that the people who has been helping me fill that hole my parents left behind, could be the people behind my parents' deaths in the first place. Mr.Akage, Mr.Gilbert and Robin became my family when my parents died. They filled the roles of my family when I found myself orphaned and hurt. It might be an inconventional form of family, but they have accepted me and treated me well.

But if these people kill my parents...what should I do then? What am I supposed to feel and think about that? How? Why?

"What do you believe then?" Robin gently wipe the wetness on my cheek.

"I don't know. I really don't know. I don't even feel like these is all so real." I said. "Is this a dream?" I asked Robin.

"Unfortunately not. No nightmare could be more complicated than this," Robin rolled on his back and sighed while looking up the ceiling of my room.

"Its all fucked up, right?" I swallowed against the lump that has formed on my throat. "Why do you believe that your family killed my parents?"

"Because...it makes sense. They have a motive to kill your parents. Your parents were thinking of running away with you. Thinking of hiding you. My Uncle, Ojiisan and my parents would never allow that." Robin said.

"Your Uncle...Mr.Akage..."

"I don't know Blu," Robin said even before I can ask my question. "I don't know it its him or not. But does that really matter? Zane Akage is the head of the Akage clan now. He is the current head of our family. One way or another, if its him who orchestrated that accident or not...he controls our family now. And to be honest, Uncle is not our biggest problem, although he is a tall wall we couldn't even begin to contemplate to climb."

"Why? What do you mean?"

Robin chuckled as he turned his head to look at me. "Blu...Uncle's most trusted man is Gilbert. If Uncle was the one who masterminded that accident, or he knows who in my family did it, it doesn't matter...he would have still ordered Gilbert to clean it all up."

My eyes widened at the implication of his words. "Oh...you mean..."

Robin nodded. "Its over. You know Gilbert, he cleans any kind of mess perfectly. He is so thorough at doing his job, our life here in the penthouse couldn't be easier."

I covered my mouth to prevent myself from shouting as my brain screamed inside my head. I can understand what Robin is saying. I do understand it all. No one is more perfect at cleaning around the penthouse than Mr.Gilbert.

"He is the personification of the word efficient." Robin added with a sigh. "Gilbert won't leave even an invicible speck of dust for us to find. You understand, right?"

I closed my eyes and pressed my face against Robin's shoulder. Then a laugh bubbled in my chest and escaped my lips. I don't know why I suddenly find all of these so funny. I laughed out loud as I feel like all of it is driving me crazy. And to top it all off, Robin is letting me laugh like a maniac on the loose.
